bookbinding with cass

I am passionate about making the craft of bookbinding fun and accessible. I'm particularly inspired by nature and working with remnant materials, transforming what might otherwise end up in landfill, into unique and usable books. Online workshops and kits, in-person classes and commissions.

The Edinburgh Sewcial Club opened its doors in 2014 teaching dressmaking, sewing and other textiles crafts to people of all ages, levels of ability and experience in evening and weekend classes. Due to the success of the business in January 2017 The Edinburgh Sewcial Club expanded into a new larger studio to accommodate more students after all its not just about learning new skills its also about meeting other creative folks and being ‘sewcial’! However class sizes still remain no more than 6 people for dressmaking and Introduction to sewing, allowing each person ample 1 to 1 tutor time. The Edinburgh Sewcial club is open to everyone and has been teaching dressmaking to people as young as 9 and beginners at 7 years old! Everything is taught at a gentle pace so that you can learn at your own level. As well as dressmaking and sewing there are also a number of other textile crafts taught, beading, embroidery, up cycling & mending even fleece mermaid tail blankets! Its a fun and friendly environment! Please take a look at the gallery section to see a wide variety of clothes and soft furnishings which have been made during the classes and a lot of the beginners had never sewn before!

alien spoons

Alien Spoons? Well it’s easy to remember…and some of the knife grips feel a bit alien when you first try them. I teach the traditional craft of spoon carving using local and sustainable wood to make spoons and other utensils, coat hooks, bowls, etc. I provide training and workshops for people to learn how to use just an axe, a wood carving knife and a spoon knife to make spoons and other treen. Available for small groups, 1-2-1 training and events. Workshops from two hours to two days can be tailored to your requirements. Please call to find out more. I am a member of the Green Crafts Initiative, all the wood I use is of local origin and sustainably harvested.
